History

Description

O’Leno State Park has a lot of sinkholes and other impressive karst features. It lies along the scenic Santa Fe River, a tributary of the Suwannee River. This river disappears underground and reemerges five kilometre away in the River Rise State Preserve. The place where the river disappears is called The Sink and may be reached on the River Trail.
